What To Expect
Riyadh
Meet your driver at your accommodation or the airport in Riyadh and take to the track leading to the exciting slopes at the edge of the world. Meet your hiking guide and follow the scenic hiking trail to the lookout point at the top of Mount Al-Fahren, where you will relax while having a picnic snack and enjoy views of Mount Al-Fahren. Then, head back down with stops along the way to visit the bat cave (optional). Once you arrive at the campsite, enjoy snacks served with coffee and tea, an archery experience and dinner accompanied by music. It ends with a return transfer to the pickup location on the outskirts of Riyadh.
Edge of The World
These cliffs rise dramatically from the desert, stretching toward the sky like a great natural wall. When you stand atop them and look toward the horizon, you have a prime view of the sky as it seems to melt into the barren earth. The Edge of the World (Jebel Fihrayn) is an unexpected and dramatic geological wonder in the rocky desert northwest of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The site earned its nickname because from atop the escarpment, you have an uninterrupted view of the horizon.

1.00This tour was very disappointing and did not match the description. The guide spoke only Arabic, even though I requested an English-speaking guide when booking. There was no guided hike and no food or snacks, despite these being clearly listed as included in the tour. The program described in the listing did not happen. Very high price for this tour offered extremely poor value and was basically just transportation to and from the location. I would not recommend this tour.
Brother taking views worth the ride

5.00Edge of the World private tour was awesome. We had a good guide in Jibran who took care of my sister and I well. The drive through the desert was a bit bouncy but nobproblems maybe 45 minutes long. Youbcould not drive the vehicle to the very area of the Edge of the World... you need to walk about 30 minutes (maybe 1 mile) to get to the Edge. But I must say... it was well worth it. Stunning views make for great photos. Vibrant assisted us in all ways. Supplying water, snacks, photos, and helping us with some tricky walking areas. Alsonhad a short stop at a natural cave which Jibran assisted us all the way. Finally a lovely meal in the desert under a tented local resident from the area. Highly recommend taking the tour.
Excellent experience

5.00Great tour guide, wonderful experience. True feel of the desert. Would love to bring the family back again. My son enjoyed the whole experience including meeting all the tourists from different country. The view was spectacular and the walk was well worth it.
